How do we know that the teaching on talents is true?

We know the teaching on talents is true because it is firmly rooted in Scripture, specifically in Matthew 25:14-30. This passage is part of Jesus' teachings about His second coming and our readiness in light of that coming. The parable shows God's sovereignty in giving different abilities to different servants and highlights His expectation for us to use these gifts to bear fruit. The consistency of this theme throughout Scripture—emphasizing the necessity of faithfulness and accountability—reinforces its truth. Moreover, believing that Christians will be rewarded based on their faithfulness aligns with the broader doctrines of grace, which assert that our works are an evidence of genuine faith.
